Core Tip Chronic viral infections, such as human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C mono- and coinfection, negatively impact bone health, leading to osteopenia, osteoporosis, and increased bone fragility at an earlier age. However, many questions remain unanswered, underscoring the need for further research into the etiopathogenetic mechanisms underlying multiscale determinants of bone strength to guide more effective, personalized treatments and preventive modalities for these individuals.
